Abstract

Egy süllyesztett közepű csiszolókorong-egységben (58) sokszög alakúerősítőréteg (14) van a csiszolókorong (10) előlapja és egy elülsőgyűrű (50) között. Az erősítőréteg (14) mérete olyan, hogy a rétegteljesen beborítja a korong (10) süllyesztett középső részét (32). Asokszögű erősítőréteg (14) például hatszög alakú és üvegszövetbőlkészül. Olyan egyenes csiszolókorong-egység is tartalmazhat sokszögalakú erősítőrétegét (14) az elülső gyűrű (50) és a korong előlapja(20) között, amelyben a korong (10) nem rendelkezik belső erősítéssel. ÓA recessed center grinding wheel assembly (58) has a polygonal reinforcement layer (14) between the face of the grinding wheel (10) and a front ring (50). The size of the reinforcing layer (14) is such that it completely covers the recessed central part (32) of the disc (10). Polygonal reinforcement layer (14) is, for example, hexagonal and made of glass fabric. A straight grinding wheel assembly may include a polygonal reinforcement layer (14) between the front ring (50) and the wheel face (20) in which the wheel (10) has no internal reinforcement. HE
